That voice had absolute power, which directly crushed the arrogance of Lu Yunxue and Wan Qianqing. Even Wan Qianqian felt the oppression that was pressing down on him.
After almost half a minute of silence, the oppression turned into helplessness. Gu Tanfeng sighed and said slowly, "You go first."
As if being pardoned, Wan Qianqian's heart, which was as heavy as a stone, also relaxed a little. Facing the two human walls, Wan Qianqian's gaze wandered between the two of them. Only then did the two human walls reluctantly move a little, making a path for Wan Qianqian to leave.
As soon as she walked out of Gu's, a familiar and eye-catching bright red sports car stopped in front of her. The car window had been specially treated, so that it was impossible to see inside from the outside. Just as Wan Qianqian was searching for the memory of this car in her mind, the car window slowly rolled down.
"Hi, Qianqian!" It was a face with sharp edges. He smiled, showing his eight neat white teeth, and greeted Wan Qianqian enthusiastically.
Wan Qianqian looked at Xu Changjun's sunny appearance in surprise. Although the signs of the dark circles under his eyes had been covered with foundation, Wan Qianqian recognized them at a glance. However, her eyes were full of doubts as she looked at the face pretending to be sunny.
Seeing that the person in front of him had no intention of getting in the car, he put away his shining teeth. He showed a rascal look and stretched out a hand to pull Wan Qianqian's sleeve.
The distance was just the length of his hand. His tall, angular features were slightly wrinkled, and his pitiful look made Wan Qianqian's heart soften.
"What are you doing? You've made such a big mess. Don't you want to make up for it? "She pretended to laugh lightly and teased Xu Changjun.
She did not point out the faintly discernible haggard look on his face. She pretended not to see him and joked with him, but how did he know that she was here? Doubts came one after another, and Wan Qianqian's brain capacity had been overdrawn. She didn't even have the strength to think.
"Go pick up the kids from school. What's done is done. Since there's no other way, I'll just accept it. Do I have to beg Gu Tanfeng? That's impossible. " After Wan Qianqian was seated, Xu Changjun's car shot out like an arrow on a tight string.
Wan Qianqian was startled. She grabbed her seatbelt reflexively and held onto something around her that she could support. His already pale face became even whiter.
The car slowed down, probably sensing Wan Qianqian's discomfort. They flew at a normal speed, but both of them fell into silence along the way.
They knew each other's thoughts clearly, as if there was a layer of thin film between them. It was a seemingly clear but somewhat hazy distance. She only needed to poke it with her finger, and the distance of millimeters would be destroyed. But what should she do after that?
"Wan Qianqian, can you save me some self-esteem? Don't go to Gu's anymore. I don't want to. " The first to break through the hazy distance was Xu Changjun, and he put the tacit matter on the table.
The sudden plea made Wan Qianqian's heart skip a beat. She couldn't help but follow his voice and saw his lonely side profile.
Wan Qianqian didn't answer until the car had stopped at the school gate. The loneliness in Xu Changjun's eyes had long disappeared. He resumed his bright smile, the same hooligan smile as before, as if the scene just now was just a hallucination of Wan Qianqian.
Wan Qianqian's heart was filled with nervousness. She couldn't help but grip her bag tightly. The leather bag revealed a layer of crescent moon-like imprint.
Before the bell rang, Wan Qianqian sighed deeply, as if she had made a very important decision. "Xu Changjun, let me defend W Group."
"Because of Gu Tanfeng?" Xu Changjun didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if he had already seen through all this.
The sudden question made Wan Qianqian's tension disappear. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Changjun's inexplicable smile.
Was that the roundworm lurking in her stomach? He easily understood her intention. At the moment when she said it, she was still worried about whether he would misunderstand.
His directness eliminated the last trace of her concern. She looked at the quiet school outside the car window. Her smart eyes seemed to be able to see through all obstacles. Her sight fell on Xin Yue and Xin Yi, and a soft smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"If I still had a sliver of hope before today, then now, I've truly given up. Being the defense lawyer of W Group, firstly, it's clear that we have fallen out with Gu's. Secondly, I don't want you to fail miserably. "Wan Qianqian didn't hide anything. She smiled and confessed.
As if they had a tacit understanding, they looked at each other and smiled. Only they understood the real meaning, and only they knew why these decisions were made.
"I know you have never forgotten Gu Tanfeng. After all, he is the person you have devoted all your feelings to. But Qianqian, I don't want you to get hurt." Xu Changjun looked forward, and his tone seemed to be a heart-warming warning after going through a storm.
What he got in return was Wan Qianqian's bright and beautiful smile. Her smile was very bright. "My heart is already full of holes. How can I be hurt?"
The bell rang, and soon Xin Yue and Xin Yi found their mommy among the many children's parents, waving their little hands.
Wan Qianqian felt it was enough to have such two little babies by her side. That simple and bright smile was like a beam of sunshine shining into her gloomy heart during this time.
…
A week had passed, and the case that the people of S City most wanted to see was about to be tried. They were eagerly waiting for the result of the trial. Would W Group or Gu's lose?
Sitting in the audience, Gu Tanfeng somehow felt depressed. Since that time, he went to see Wan Qianqian, but Wan Qianqian avoided him and didn't answer his phone.
Except for the defense lawyer of W Group, that seat was still empty. Two minutes later, the door of the court was slowly pushed open. A slender figure in a lawyer's uniform appeared at the door. Although she was petite, she seemed to have infinite strength.
